The Haut Brion 1996 is a masterpiece from the legendary Château Haut-Brion in Pessac-Léognan, the only Graves estate in the 1855 classification. This exceptional Vintage unites the three great grape varieties of Bordeaux – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc – into a wine of timeless elegance. Wines from Bordeaux Haut-Brion Wines are among the most sought-after in the world, and the 1996 edition is considered one of the greatest of the decade.
The wine was vinified using traditional methods, with careful hand-harvesting and aging in French oak barrels. Today, the wine is in impressive condition: the firm tannin structure of the Vintage has integrated perfectly and harmonizes beautifully with the fruit. The result is a Grand Cru Classé of exceptional depth and finesse.
On the nose, a captivating bouquet of blackcurrants, cedar, graphite, and a subtle smoky note unfolds. The palate reveals the full class of this wine: perfectly balanced, with silky tannins, vibrant freshness, and layers of dark berries, tobacco, and minerality. The finish is long, elegant, and remarkably precise – a wine that can age for decades.
